This Community-led Local Development project is funded through the Shabla-Kavarna-Balchik fisheries LAG, and aims to promote the social, cultural, natural, and marine heritage of Bulgarevo, a small village in the Dobrich Province in northeastern Bulgaria. The project supports the village’s cultural heritage associated with traditional singing in the area, by establishing a unique recording studio in the village’s local community centre. A local singing group called ‘Perunika’ have begun using the recording studio for their activities. The project has also developed a feature on a weekly ‘Radio Chitalishte’ (Radio Community) broadcast which goes out on Facebook, as well as a museum collection and a short film which celebrates and preserves the village’s local fishing traditions.

  • A unique recording studio in the community center to support cultural heritage.
  • A weekly "Radio Chitalishte" broadcast on Facebook, promoting local traditions and engaging the community.
  • A museum collection and short film to preserve and celebrate Bulgarevo's fishing heritage.
